NOTE - Effective December 19, 2013, Schedule F to the Food and Drug Regulationswas repealed and replaced by a list of prescription drugs, called the Prescription Drug List. Therefore, all entries in the National Drug Schedules (NDS) whose footnote indicates that they appear in Schedule F (F1/F2) should now be considered part of the Prescription Drug List (PDL).

Entries whose footnote indicates that they are "Schedule F Recommended" (FR) should now be considered recommended for addition to the PDL. Some of the "Schedule F Recommended" entries may have been added or will shortly be added to the PDL by Health Canada, but either way these entries will continue to be listed in Schedule I of the NDS.
